Jesus and Yogaat SALT: "And then, when it’s all over, I get up, pick up my mat, and walk. All light, all lavender. It’s just like Jesus says, over and over, in all those old stories: our faith makes us well. "

I am Tamara Murphy: born and raised in a cynical, smalltown Northeast still harboring a penchant for hope and big ideas. Now I live in the bright city of Austin, Texas with my audacious and often-homesick family: two daughters, two sons, one husband.

I believe in the power of the written word. I read and write words to make friends with the ancient, present and future. I write to encourage both you and me to see God's presence through daily practices of art, liturgy and relationship.
